Recent Universal Expositions include Brussels Expo '58, Seattle Expo '62, known as the Century 21 Exposition, Montreal Expo '67, San Antonio HemisFair '68, Osaka Expo '70, Knoxville, Tennessee Expo '82 New Orleans Expo '84, Brisbane Expo '88, Seville, Lisbon Expo '98, and Hanover, Germany Expo 2000.
International expositions are usually united by a common theme - such as Transportation (Vancouver Expo '86) or 'Leisure in the Age of Technology' (Brisbane Expo '88).
Specialized and international expositions are usually smaller in scale and cheaper to run for the host committee and participating nations because the architectural fees are lower and they only have to rent the space from the host committee, usually with the pre-fabricated structure already completed.

Century 21 was conceived and designed in the days before its sexist ideas were challenged by the rise of feminism.

The Seattle World's Fair - known as The Century 21 Exposition - was a 6-month-long event that offered visitors a peek at the "glittering world of the future" and, more specifically, a peek at what our lives were supposed to be like by now.
Visitors to the Century 21 expo were shown a future in which people flew to work in their personal "gyrocopters" and lived in cities covered by giant domes (to control the climate - not to play baseball in and later blow up).
Prompted by the advent of the millennium and based on forecasts of an ageing population and a growth in the number of single-person households, the studies vary widely in their predictions.

The 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, otherwise known as Century 21, gave visitors a glimpse of the future and left Seattle with a lasting legacy.
The Exposition gave Seattle world-wide recognition, effectively “putting it on the map.” Years of planning went into the Fair through the hard work of visionaries, go-getters, civic boosters, and dreamers.
For Century 21 to live up to its name, the Fair needed corporate exhibits that gave visitors a glimpse of what the future might hold.

One way to measure changing attitudes toward growth and natural resources in the Pacific Northwest during the 1960s and 1970s is to contrast the international expositions in Spokane in 1974 and Seattle in 1962.
When the people of Seattle hosted a world's fair, they meant for it both to celebrate their recent economic and demographic expansion and to perpetuate that expansion (with the one caveat that the outward sprawl of population should not detract too much from the financial position of the central business district).
It was perhaps audacious of Spokane, a relatively remote and small city of 180,000, to host a world's fair, but the exposition did attract outside interest and money (from the state and federal government and from private firms), cleaned up the riverfront, and rejuvenated downtown.
